TURIN, Italy, June 18, 2025 – Comau and Roboze have entered a collaboration to develop cost-effective automation solutions for advanced, on-demand manufacturing. The partnership will focus on applications across multiple industries, including automotive, aerospace, energy, and racing. The goal is to combine Comau’s expertise in industrial automation with Roboze’s additive manufacturing capabilities to support flexible production systems.
The partnership speeds up access to automation in advanced manufacturing, making just-in-time production flexible and accessible. This helps companies bring manufacturing back to their own regions and use sustainable methods. Firms can make better use of materials, cut down on waste, and meet the demand for low-impact, environmentally friendly production.
The partnership focuses on how automation can support additive manufacturing in applications where traditional methods are limited. It enables production of complex or customized parts as needed, using an adaptable and cost-sensitive approach.
Giacomo Del Panta, chief customer management officer of Comau commented: “The combined expertise and technologies of Comau and Roboze, two Italian companies capable of delivering cutting-edge solutions to international markets, allow us to offer customers innovative solutions that integrate automation, robotics, and additive manufacturing. We are confident this collaboration can bring tangible benefits to manufacturing processes across numerous industrial sectors. Fully aligned with our growth and diversification strategy, it marks another concrete solution that will contribute to our global growth trajectory”.
Alessio Lorusso, CEO of Roboze said: “We could not have asked for a better counterpart than Comau, a leading company in the world of robotics and automation. Integrating our advanced 3D printing technologies with Comau’s robotic solutions presents a unique value proposition for global industry. Through this partnership, we’re poised to drive a meaningful transformation in our clients’ manufacturing capabilities, enabling them to be more innovative, agile, and sustainable”.
